They Say the Wind Is Red represents the successful effort of the
MOWA Choctaws to articulate their own history. This development
pleases all of us who believe in the place of American Indians in
American history.--W. Richard West, National Museum of the American
Indian, Smithsonian Institution
An invaluable addition to the growing library of Native American
studies, They Say the Wind Is Red is a very highly recommended
history of pride, love of land, danger, and a people's
determination to endure and preserve their way of life in spite of
severe and enduring hardships.-- "Midwest Book Review"
I found They Say the Wind Is Red moving and convincing.--Virginia
Pounds Brown, Southeastern Indians expert "author of The World of
the Southern Indians"
Jacqueline Matte makes a compelling case for the historical origin
of the MOWA Choctaws in her book, They Say the Wind is Red,
although the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs inexplicably
still denies them federal recognition as an Indian tribe.--Dr. Greg
Waselkov, director of the Center for Archaeological Studies,
University of South Alabama
